Your daily horoscopes for Friday April 19, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Got one more birthday wish in you, Aries? Make it now because the festivities are about to wind down as the Sun departs Aries and settles into Taurus and your second house of work and finances until May 20. We’re not saying you have to stop celebrating, but you need to get back on your game before people accuse you of slacking. You’ve been avoiding the boring items on your to-do list lately, but now it’s time to take care of the electric bill and fill out any paperwork. You don’t have to do everything today, but make sure it’s all under control before the Sun blazes into your social sector in four weeks.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Happy birthday to all the Bulls! Today, the life-giving Sun throws a party in your honor as it blazes into your sign until May 20. The past month has been filled with soul-searching (and maybe a few sour moods), but the storm clouds are clearing in 3, 2, 1. While your sign loves a stable routine, the next four weeks are all about experimenting to find a new and improved rhythm for your life. Expand your horizons every way you can. This will give you a renewed sense of freedom and help you realize your limitless potential!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Ready for a sabbatical, Gemini? As the Sun hunkers down in Taurus and your rejuvenating twelfth house, the next four weeks could feel like a master class in letting go. If you’ve been obsessing over past drama, work with a healer to release that negative energy. And while you’re at it, give your closets a major purge. Are you trying to control the outcome of a situation? Ironically, these circumstances might shift faster with a little bit of surrender. And don’t worry: You’ll have a whole new world of options when Gemini season begins on May 20.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Get up, get out, and do something! Your cozy crabshell could start to feel claustrophobic today as the life-enhancing Sun beams into Taurus and your eleventh house of teamwork and activism for a month. Explore new social scenes and drop into virtual communities to find people who share your niche obsessions. Is it time to set up that Etsy shop or buy a domain name? With your tech sector getting flooded by these sunbeams, online initiatives get a major boost between now and May 20.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
It’s lift-off time, Leo! With your cosmic custodian, the brilliant Sun, blazing a trail through Taurus and your career zone until May 20, you’ll be racking up the professional milestones. Your sign loves to be queen (king or any sort of royal), and you’ve got the charisma and talent it takes to rise through the ranks. No need to apologize for your ambitions. Boldly follow your passion and lead with nobility. When you’re trekking down your authentic path, you don’t have to jostle others out of the way to get ahead.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
The devil’s in the details, Virgo, but sometimes you have to ignore that perfectionism demon and focus on the bigger picture. Today, as the Sun kicks off its annual tour through Taurus and your visionary ninth house, you’re in the mood to think beyond county (and country!) lines. Squeeze in plenty of day trips or book a weekend jaunt to a nearby vacation spot for some revitalizing R&R between now and May 20. Looking to make a permanent move? Explore new neighborhoods or get in touch with friends who’ve moved out of state to hear about their experience.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Give your lingerie drawer a refresh and practice that come-hither stare. Today, the Sun beams into Taurus and your erotic eighth house, igniting your inner passions in epic ways. Most Libras are true romantics and are looking for more than a one-night stand. With your eighth house fired up until May 20, you’ll crave all-night conversations followed by long weekends together in and out of bed. Try not to lose sight of your worldly responsibilities while you’re seducing and being seduced. Those bills won’t pay themselves!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Discerning Scorpios are known for having lofty standards, but has your bar been raised higher than the nosebleed section? As the Sun blasts into Taurus and your seventh house of relationships today, give humans a chance to win your heart too. Instead fixating on people’s flaws, turn that magnifying glass onto their positives. By the time this cycle ends on May 20, you may be ready to grant someone VIP access to your world. Already in a relationship? Focus on your shared passions, both in and out of the bedroom. A co-created project that plays to each of your strengths could cement your bond.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday April 19
Pass the rose quartz and praise the kale! Today, the invigorating Sun blasts into Taurus until May 20, giving your mind, body and soul a holistic workout. Boring treadmill workouts won’t cut it. You need to stimulate your physical being AND your spirit. Self-care will be key, so if you’re not sure where to begin, book a massage and start tracking your meals in an app to make sure you’re hitting all your macros. Work is going to keep you mighty busy for the coming four weeks. Put systems in place so you don’t get scattered.

Your inner glamazon takes the wheel today as the Sun blazes through Taurus and your flamboyant, flirtatious fifth house until May 20. Fold up your favorite faded sweatshirt and step out like the heartthrob and celebutante you were born to be. With le Soleil shining a light on your achievements, you’ll spend more time in the public eye. If media coverage is part of the game plan, make sure that you’re camera-ready when you’re out and about. Romantically, the next four weeks are a hotspot. Pause from taking selfies here and there so you don’t miss the cutie who is trying to catch your eye.

If your social life has been mile-a-minute, even YOU, the zodiac’s Most Popular, may be ready for a rest. You’re in luck, Aquarius. Today, the Sun settles down in Taurus, your comfortable fourth house of home and family, until May 20. Take the next four weeks to relax and make your home into the ultimate chill zone.

Spread out a picnic blanket in a park or just hit the streets and explore your city on foot. If you’re looking for a new car (or an electric bike!) to get around town, begin researching and comparing models.
